George B, Thanks for the input. The converter is rated at speeds UP TO 20
MSPS. I will not need all of that speed as I intend to sample it every 100
ns.
Yes this is a situation where all I need to do is capture and store a
reading from the A/D, wait until my 100 ns, has elapsed, capture store

Looking at the bill of materials I see it has 4 oscillators on board:
32.768KHz, 25 MHz, 24 MHz and 24.576 MHz. How can this run at 1GHz ?
Is there a multiplier somewhere?
You're correct, the internal clock is generated by
I would like an opinion please, on whether or not the BBB is suited to my
intended project.
I need a fast processor that can read a 20 mega samples per second A/D
(Maxim) every 100 nanoseconds.
This means I will probably have to execute (guessing here) 5 to 15
instructions within a 100ns window
20Msps every 100 nano seconds ? What have you been smoking ? I want some.

As 20 megasamples per second is a sample every 50 ns I am guessing you are
going to need to execute in shorter time than 100 ns unless it is buffered.
If the application doesn't require processing the samples in real time, you
could buffer the A/D converter into a FIFO and have the BBB empty
